Holy mackerel, officials at Orsainville detention centre were told there was a plot to spring the three crime bosses who just a few days later escaped by helicopter from the jail courtyard. What bunglers. Between the warden and the judge who permitted the convicts to be relieved of their handcuffs, these guys could have called a cab to break out. Officials at Orsainville are said to have been told about a possible breakout attempt by the provincial police. Documents just released show the QPP had heard word that it might happen and told the prison brass. Yves Denis, Denis Lefebvre and Serge Pomerleau escaped from the detention centre in suburban Quebec City on June 7. The three men are now the subject of an Interpol alert list, which places the Quebec escapees among the world’s most wanted fugitives.
